U.S.-based cybersecurity company Deepwatch has opened a new global capability centre in Bengaluru with an initial team of 50 employees and plans to hire 100 more over the next year as part of its global expansion strategy. The move marks a significant investment in India’s engineering and cybersecurity talent pool, the company said.
Deepwatch, known for its managed detection and response services that combine artificial intelligence with human analysts, said the Bengaluru facility will serve as a core engineering and technology hub supporting platform development and cross-regional collaboration. The launch aligns with the firm’s long-term plan to build India into a strategic base for global cybersecurity innovation.
Expanding R&D Capacity
The new centre will focus on accelerating product development, strengthening threat-intelligence capabilities and supporting around-the-clock engineering cycles. Deepwatch said the GCC will help increase development velocity while maintaining service standards for customers worldwide.
Chief executive John DiLullo said the investment was “a testament to Deepwatch’s commitment to developing exceptional AI-powered solutions for the cyber industry”, adding that India’s engineering talent provides the company with a “unique advantage” as cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication.
Prasad Channabasappa, managing director of Deepwatch India, said the Bengaluru GCC represents the firm’s strategic commitment to “advance cyber resilience at scale”, positioning the company to deliver next-generation managed security outcomes.
Hiring Plans and Long-Term Strategy
Deepwatch expects to expand its Bengaluru workforce across engineering, cloud operations and product functions, reflecting the rising demand for talent capable of building agentic AI tools that support global security operations centres.
The office is designed to house collaborative workspaces and modern infrastructure to support engineering teams. The company said the launch is a key milestone in its growth plan and that it is evaluating further expansion opportunities to strengthen its global footprint.
As cyberattacks become more frequent and complex, global security providers are increasingly turning to India to scale talent and innovation capacity. Deepwatch’s investment underscores the country’s expanding role as a hub for advanced cybersecurity R&D, particularly in AI-driven SOC operations.
The Bengaluru GCC is expected to become one of the firm’s central engines for platform innovation and could anchor future expansion across Asia.
